A Luyha Man invited his friends for his mother’s burial. After lowering the body, the family put a yam, rice, meat, mrenda etc, into the grave in line with traditions. A Kikuyu man asked why? The Luhya man smiled & said, according to our tradition, the dead go on a long journey & need all the food items they can get”. A Luo man dropped 100,000k inside and said, “When the food is finished, buy some more”. A Kisii man dropped 50,000k and said, “Add this in case it’s not enough”. The Kikuyu man smiled and brought out his cheque book & wrote a cheque of 200,000k, dropped it in the coffin & took the 150,000k notes as change, then said, “withdraw when you reach dear … It is going to be a dangerous journey we don’t know how many robbers are out there and after all we are in a cashless economy!”
